Cartagena De Indias- Facts
Posted by Nancy Madrid on Friday, October 16, 2009
The “Heroic” Cartagena is without doubt one of the finest examples of a coastal walled-city from the era of the Spanish conquistadors anywhere in the world. Breathtaking architecture and a richly romantic history blend seamlessly with lush Caribbean scenery and the most welcoming of atmospheres. Cartagena’s many golden-sanded beaches attract tourists from around the world and the warmth of its coastal waters is always a firm favorite.
The fortress and walled city defended this paradise from attacks by English pirates and buccaneers. In modern times, Cartagena has been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its cultural importance to humanity.
Cartagena de Indias has been selected by Forbes Magazine as the fourth most visited tourist spot in 2009.
